Tyler, The Creator News

Tyler, The Creator and Odd Future have had their share of critics, but this is probably the most extreme measure taken against the group. New Zealand immigration authorities have banned Odd Future from entry to the country-- making the announcement while the OF crew was already on their way to the airport.

The mtvU Woodies are one awards show where hip hop gets a good look. The show -- which takes place during SXSW, and honors the artists that college students are listening to -- has previously been hosted by Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), and seen the likes of Odd Future, Mac Miller, Lil B, and Yelawolf grace the stage, or take home awards.
This year is no different, with nominations going out to Chance The Rapper, Jay Z, Kanye West and more. Drake and Pharrell also both show up in the "Woodie Of The Year" category.

Chance The Rapper has been busy in the studio as of late. The rapper was recently spotted with electronic producer Skrillex and Mike WiLL Made It, and his most recent studio session is with a rapper, Tyler, The Creator.

Anyone that knows Tyler, The Creator is familiar with his Twitter account, which is a mix of complete absurdity, extreme profanity, up-typing, and enthusiasm for art of all kinds. His latest stream of consciousness letter, posted to the Odd Future tumblr earlier today, contains every one of those things.

Yesterday, we reported on the list of nominees for the inaugural YouTube Music Awards, which includes artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Nicki Minaj. Now, both Tyler, The Creator and Flying Lotus have taken to Twitter to express their impressions of the ceremony, which are both hilarious and on-point.

Tyler, The Creator is often venting through Twitter with whatever is on his mind (often in all caps), whether it be about the YouTube Music Video Awards, like last week, or, like last night, about Will.i.am.

Kanye West is not capable of a dull interview. The Chicago rapper, who is in the midst of his Yeezus tour provided plenty of quotables in his sit downs with both Power 106 and 87.1 AMP this morning, covering topics such as the afterlife, the confederate flag, "mental slavery," and his appreciation for Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator.
Read some excerpts from the interviews below.
On Kendrick Lamar's talent:

We knew Tyler and his Odd Future fans were wild, but damn. Last week Tyler, The Creator was set to perform with Flying Lotus at a L.A. club when police were called to the scene due to various disruptions of fans who could not get in.

For the second year in a row, Odd Future will be holding their OFWGKTA Carnival in L.A., and they have announced Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean as the headliners.
Other details of performances are yet to be revealed, but just as last year, the event will feature rides, games, a skatepark, and Odd Future unique prizes for those participating in the carnival.
This year there will be two stages, the “Camp” stage and the “High” stage. The event is being held by Camp Flog Gnaw, Tyler’s new creative company.

The promise of an EarlWolf album dates back to a time before Earl's sensationalized hiatus. Since his return, the topic hasn't really been talked about, but in a new interview, OF's youngest (rapping) member revealed that he and Tyler are still planning to collaborate on a full length project.

Although fashion has always been a part of hip-hop culture, it's been taken to a new level in recent years thanks to artists such as A$AP Rocky, Kanye West, Pharrell, 2 Chainz and Danny Brown. Love it or hate it, more and more of your favorite emcees are becoming acutely fashion conscious, both in and outside the genre.
Current trends include jogging pants (leather or otherwise), leather in general, snapbacks, tall tees, diverse camo and the slightly suspect shorts over tight pants or leggings look. Needless to say, some pull these off better than others.

Tyler, The Creator is known for his shock tactics, but perhaps the most shocking thing he did this year was reveal that he had denied Kanye West a feature on "IFHY" after Yeezy asked to hop on the track.

Kid Cudi has been keeping it relatively low-key since his album, Indicud, dropped. Recently he leaked a song on Twitter, "Going To The Ceremony," without offering an explanation as to what it's for. Today, Cudder took to Twitter once more to reveal a tour flyer, for an upcoming tour with himself, Big Sean, Tyler, the Creator and Logic.

We weren't sure if we were ever going to hear more material from Earl Sweatshirt. After his mysterious disappearance, rumors spread that even upon his return, he may never rap again. Luckily, Earl is still making music, and he has just announced the tracklist and release date for his first proper studio album.
